Get a Second Opinion Before Listing Your Home

What if the problem with traditional real estate marketing isn’t visibility…
but too much visibility?
Large, bright yard signs let anyone spot a listing from across the street.
But do they truly engage buyers?
Micro real estate signs do.
These are signs designed to be seen only by people who are truly interested — the ones who stop, look, walk closer, lean in, squint a little, and think:
“What’s this home all about?”
Because curiosity is the most powerful marketing tool we have.
Micro yard signs. They’re about the size of a paperback book, easy to miss unless you’re a chipmunk, and absolutely guaranteed to generate zero showings.
Relax — they’re not real.
( I really, really hope no one reads this in 2026 and thinks otherwise. )
The point is: a second opinion prevents bad ideas from becoming bad decisions.
Compare ideas. Ask questions:
When we renovate a house or hire a contractor, we’re told to get multiple quotes. Compare prices. Evaluate personalities. Check references. Ask 47 questions about why someone wants to move a wall that clearly doesn’t need to be moved.
So why is it that when people go to sell their home — often the biggest asset they own — they only talk to one real estate agent?
Is it loyalty? Convenience? Not wanting to upset your best friend’s cousin’s boyfriend who was the agent that helped you buy the house 20 years ago?
He might be the right agent? Truly.
But you can’t really know that if you never interview anyone else.
Smart Sellers Ask Smart Questions
Ask these to every agent you interview:
What’s the plan if the home doesn’t sell at the asking price?
How will you market this home beyond just “putting it on the MLS”?
Speaking of MLS — how many will my home be listed on?
What’s your strategy to highlight the real selling points?
(Hint: if the answer is “I’ll put one tiny sign in the yard and hope for the best,”please give me a call.)
